About AMOS

Located in Liège, AMOS (Advanced Mechanical & Optical Systems) is a company specialized

in the development of ultra-high opto-mechanical systems, mostly dedicated to space industry

and professional astronomy.

Since 1983, AMOS has been a recognized player around the world. AMOS works with

prestigious international clients and partners. More than 100 passionate employees put their

expertise at the service of the development of innovative solutions, while respecting the values

of the company:

• Excellence, through the commitment and quality of everyone's work;
• Respect, through recognition by listening, openness and consideration, whether colleague, partner, or client.

Since 2024, the acquisition of AMOS by Aerospacelab—a leader in satellite manufacturing

ranging from 50 kg to 1,000 kg—has created strong synergies, particularly in the field of

embedded optical payloads at the heart of satellites. AMOS’s historical expertise in highprecision

optics and mechanics now combines with Aerospacelab’s industrial capabilities, pace

of innovation, and strategic vision. This dynamic strengthens our shared ability to develop

advanced space technologies and deliver ambitious projects, from design to implementation.

Key responsibilities

You are the guarantor of the mechanical design and technical feasibility of the products entrusted.

You provide the expected deliverables (design – drawings set) while ensuring that the tools put in place at the design office are applied (rules, checklist, etc.).

You contribute to the improvements and development of the design office.

Duties

• Understand and integrate the various technical constraints of a project and translate them into a feasible product that meets the desired functions
• Design of complex mechanical assemblies (telescopes, space applications, "vacuum" applications, etc.)
• Product tree management in collaboration with the ELM engineer of the project
• Understand the manufacturing processes to determine the most efficient way to produce the drawn part and know how to adapt the part to the manufacturing possibilities
• Produce the drawings sets containing the technical information necessary and sufficient for the manufacturing of the product (workshop, subcontractor)
• Carry out the follow-up of subcontractors, the follow-up of manufacturing
• Write integration procedures and carry out integration follow-up
• Carry out requests for prices for mechanical parts
• Report work status (ETC) at Capa-Charge meetings
• Report technical difficulties, conflicting requirements and propose solutions
• Provide concrete and constructive ideas for improvement for the effectiveness of
• the design office

Must have

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Draughtsman/Designer or Industrial Engineer with a focus on mechanical/electromechanics
• Minimum 3 years of experience in mechanical design.
• Mastery of 3D design and drawing software, ideally CATIA V5.
• Knowledge of treatments
• Drawing / Functional dimensioning (tolerance) and dimensional budget
• Be able to identify critical dimensions to be verified by metrology
• Be able to design and implement layouts
• Know how to manage sets in Catia

• Fluent in French

Nice to have
